I am jello.1956 was my 1st full year collecting Coins and still today buy and trading+Collecting US Canada + Great Britain coin . I lived in the Catskill Mt area in the town of Catskill NY.1900-1960 My grandmother owned the Tanner National Bank So I do have a lot of Canadian cent thru Dollars my grandmother would bring home from the bank.

Hmmm...Jello? Did your grandmother know Rose Knox by any chance? Seems possible at least. I wouldn't think many women owned banks and factorys at the same time in NY back then that wouldn't know of each other.

I do recall the name as we /I was forced to attend a party for a Knox family in 1950's but not sure if its the same Knox family.

Rose Knox, née Markward, aka Mrs Charles B. Knox (November 18, 1857 – 1950) was an American businesswoman, who ran the Knox Gelatin Factory in Johnstown, New York, USA after her husband died. She won wide respect as one of the leading businesswomen of her time.
